Bob Costas said he made a “mistake,” violating his own rule of not trying to compress a nuanced topic into small bit of air time, with his controversial halftime commentary Sunday night on the murder-suicide committed by Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs the day before.

Costas and NBC are in damage control mode. All hands to the pumps.
Keep the pressure on. No mercy. Ridicule, comment, Twitter, Facebook ... until he’s GONE.
This was no mistake.
It was not a spur of the moment, unrehearsed rant either.
Watch the video—he’s reading something, as in a prepared cue card.
And then voila, the next day, it is THE talk of the day, on every network.Everywhere. Some idiot sport commentator’s “rant” on guns. Riiiiight.
Can you say “planned faux media event”? I knew you could.
